The presence of "/usr/share/tomcat5" in the servlet-api.jar path suggests you are using a packaged install of Tomcat. While doing some Eclipse Web Tools testing on SUSE 10.x (I think 10.1), the "servlet-api.jar" it was installed as a dependency of the Tomcat install and was symlinked as "[servletapi5].jar". It worked fine as a symlink, but for this install, you won't be able to use "standard" (i.e. Apache Tomcat download equivalent) batch scripts or names which aren't compatible with alterations made to create the packaged Tomcat install. There isn't enough info to tell why startup is looking for a jar named servlet-api.jar. The packaged install wouldn't normally do that.
